There's a single image that inspires me to submit to further Star Wars punishment. It's not even an image from in-game. It's a piece of concept art, which is probably even more misleading than the doctored screenshots often used to advertise games. It's this… Continue reading
You haven’t been to a high school party until you’ve been to a high school party that turns into a three hour stand off with the police and then gets pointlessly memorialized in a New York Magazine* article by a young 20s wunderkind writer. If you want to… Continue reading
Jim Cameron showed where his heart is by calling Harry Knowles for Valentine’s Day and delivering some scoops on his next movie, Avatar, which is apparently filming without a director of photography. I always thought that Cameron would do away with the human… Continue reading
It was with a heavy heart that we learned earlier this year that Capcom was shutting the doors on Clover Studios, the development house responsible for great games such as Okami and Viewtiful Joe, as well as oddities like God Hand. We sometimes forget,… Continue reading

The Polish Brothers seem like they work slowly – it’s been eight years since Twin Falls Idaho, with The Astronaut Farmer only the third feature to follow their debut. But with acting and writing gigs for other filmmakers, plus their own research, their output… Continue reading
Billy Bob Thornton has played a lot of down home characters, but none so approachable and determined as Charles Farmer, who bucks NASA and the FAA to build his own rocket and explore space in his own way, on his own time. You're old enough to remember the… Continue reading
I don’t think I had a better time at the movies last year than when I sat down to watch Crank. It’s an action film with a cool concept, no doubt, and even cooler execution of said concept. Virtually every frame of the film bursts with insane energy, and it… Continue reading
Due to a technical issue, this roundtable with Virginia Madsen isn't as long as it could have been. But most of the second half of the interview dealt with spoilers about The Astronaut Farmer or general discussion about The Number 23, which needs no more… Continue reading
